Colorful Black Cloisonné Dragon Ware Jar with Lid - Late Qing Dynasty

About the Item

A petite dragon motif cloisonné jar in black with a matching lid. The small chinoiserie jar is made from brass or copper, and encrusted with a cloisonné dragon design. Cloisonné pieces are a time-consuming art and involve the shaping of intricate designs from metal (usually gold) and then filling the spaces between with glass, gems, or enamel. This piece, in particular, features a large blue dragon, with green, yellow, and red designs. He is on a black background that features countless black clouds lined in brass. The matching round lid sits snuggly on top with the brass showing through on the rim as well as the handle. Our favorite part is toward the bottom of the jar. Rolling waves in a malachite green and blue give the look of a dragon floating on top of clouds. Both the bottom and interior of the jar are painted in a bright blue enamel. Diameter: 3.75" Diameter 3.5" Tall
